This is the best journalistic approach I've seen on this matter so far. Yet it still lacks a deepening on the fact that racism and other kinds of discrimination are not exclusively practiced by white people. Had the same experiments been performed in places where other ethnic or cultural groups are the majority, the results most probably would evidence their biases in favor of their own pairs. This evidences that there is an inherent component in discriminatory behavior that goes well beyond of an evil mindset. It’s clear that in general people tend to better identify with those that look like themselves and fear those who don’t. This has been imprinted in our minds all along our species evolution. Could we change that? Yes. Should we change it? Definitely. But it’ll not work if these subtleties are not accounted for and we oversimplify the matter by just pointing fingers to a specific group as the villain.

Or Best Buy is good at asking if you need help. I’m white and I get more attention than that

Canada jane kaa. Best wishes for you.

18:30 Never apologize for other people’s actions. Self hatred won’t fix anything. Just live your life the best you can.?

Ma Sha Allah! Awesome vlog. Interesting from start till end. All the best dear. Joined u, I hope u will visit my chnl & if lk join me. thanks

If they claim benefit. I am ?. Being a legit Canadian hopeful as a professional, it’s really very hard for me to get a PR . I worked in other countries but I like Canada best. Now I need to learn French in order to be qualified.

There's cases in this episode where they assumed racism without proof like the Best Buy for example. I used to work at Best Buy for a Co-Op placement in highschool and shoplifting was a big issue for them, it became best practice at one point to just approach customers of any race and ask them what they need. You also have to realize that it's an electronics store, you're there to buy something specific or look for something in particular.. It's very suspicious to be browsing around for 15 minutes unless you're in a game or movie section. Shoplifters usually stall before attempting a theft and usually do buy one or two things as to not arouse suspicion.

Adventure may hurt you but monotony will kill you... travel safe.. stay safe.. best wishes..???

Great.. Best of luck for new journey...\nWill you give some information about Canada Pr as I am searching for that on yt and suddenly catch you.. ? Its great to have some from own country ?

My only question about these tests, is how large were the sample pools? And one other thing to note, is that compared to almost every other nation on earth, Canada has next to no racism (i believe we are actually the best on earth when it comes to that). I'm white and have traveled to Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and South America, and have experienced racism in every one of those continents. By a large portion of the people I interacted with. I also find that most racism that I have seen or experienced stems from 2 places. One culture and the second a lack of experience in interacting with other races.

I am the definition of a white person when it comes to looks but I've done loads of crazy stuff in the past. During my studies in Switzerland my best friends were from Ghana, Panama, Russia, India and Saudi Arabia. Undoubtedly, amongst the kindest people I ever met. Racists are brainless and spineless.

Best thing about you u know whatt???\nYou say those little details what we really wanna know\nJo doosre youtuber nahi bolte..upar upar me bat karke vdo ko long karke bas hume kuch kehdete hai aur phir bolte bhi nahi jo actual me janna zaroori hai.\nSo thanks.keep doing the goodwork bro

I love how people trash the US for being racist, but we are still the best country to immigrate to ??????

Thanks a lot! Its a great video. For oil and gas industry (focus shale) is best work in usa or Canada? Where is the principal develpment and works oportunities? Thanks a lot

I'm not suggesting this explains what happened in this video at Best Buy but I will say that when I'm at my local Best Buy store and I'm white, that I get asked if I need help every 5 minutes! \nAgain, not justifying this video just adding my experience at BB.

The Best Buy thing was not a fair experiment, there is a reason experiments need to run multiple times with different variables. Maybe the black guy had more expensive clothes and looked like he would spend more....they're probably right that it was racism, but that isn't conclusive enough to throw out those accusations.

The Eagles said it best, “ You can’t hide those lyin’ eyes”.

In Los Angeles, many, many, many African Americans work in the Library system from Librarians to Social Workers, to General Workers to Security to Maintainance to trash details to teachers, to landscapers.\nAs an African American, I do feel WE HAVE ONE OF THE BEST LIBRARY SYSTEMS IN THE WORLD!

Even with our faults I can’t help but believe we are still one of the best. Especially with how things are looking for our neighbours to the south.

Best Buy is annoying lol... I been there and every time I have like 5 people ask if I need help.. like go the f away Im browsing . ?? Pretty sure they are trained to be like that.

People should stay in there county and make the best of it. Life in Canada isn’t that great the cost of living is outrageous in price. We can’t even take care of the homeless population how are we going to take care of new people

uhh, have you been in a best buy recently? they do this to everyone, they are annoying AF because they are going bankrupt

U r soo lucky that u r studying abroad....best of luck do well...my dream to study abroad but we can't afford....thos ppl r v lucky who study abroad..whare ever they want

I had immigrated to Canada last year in March. So far I have not experienced any racism whatsoever. God has been kind to me since I moved here. I found a job and a place to live. People greet each other irrespective of race and color. This is the best place to raise a family in my eyes. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS COUNTRY. God bless Canada!!!

Bless Canada and the many MANY great people living here. Regardless of colour, regardless of culture. This video is disgusting and does it's best to shame the average Canadian. Pathetic. I hope everyone here has a great day despite listening to this utter garbage.

I don’t get the point to this video. Canada isn’t a free for all. You still need due process. He isn’t locked in a cage. He’s given freedom, healthcare and help while he’s waiting for a decision. The judge obviously made his decision based on facts. I’m a bleeding heart liberal like the best of them but come on ... if you didn’t prove your life is in danger then sorry.

I'm calling bs. I grew up in Scarborough, the schools in my area were mixed Caribbean, Canadian, European, Indian (and other South asain), Chinese (and other East Asian), middle Eastern, African, Latino, everyone went to the same school. Everyone's families were and are poor going through the same struggle. By the time I got to highschool I took the higher level courses, I went to class everyday, I wasn't a smart kid I didn't get to uni, I took a bridging program in college and got into uni. It's not hard to climb the latter in Canada if you work for it. Meanwhile at the same school a large percentage of Carribean and Somalian black students do not go to class, they skip, they dont care. In fact these same kids picked and made fun of the Asian kids that did go to school. They have zero respect imo. You can call me whatever you want I am just speaking my personal experience. School never seemed like a priority to them. I'm not Chinese or Indian but those 2 cultures always seemed like the hardest working. Those kids went to every class and got the best grades. Again Caribbean and Somalian black students in my area were more likely to be distruptive in class and get into fights. As were Greek kids and Canadian/Irish white kids. I am only pointing out the black students in relation to this video. Personal accountability is important, I don't disagree there is problems with the system but let's not act like there isn't a problem within black and even poor white culture itself. Sometimes you have to look in the mirror.

Best buy is the worse. you cant find one person to help you but they will follow you.

Canada is best

As a former best buy employee for 3 years, I can confirm they enforce a 10 foot 10 second rule. If a customer is withing 10 feet of you, you have 10 seconds to greet and share your name with the customer. This is two fold- yes, to help reduce shoplifting, but also to encourage sales. This is something I share and reference with my sales team in a different setting now, however, I can confirm as an experienced sales person, the technique works to achieve both outcomes. It's super sad to see it being used for the wrong purpose in this clip. I think it shows a lot of racial bias. I'm curious what ethnicities the employees were that approached each shopper.

Best buy employees always ask everyone if they need help!!! They approach everyone multiple times asking if they need assistance I'm pretty sure they work on commission lol that one I dont agree with

I believe discrimination is a sad part of humanity. Laws, media and education curriculum are the best ways to reduce the impact and bring justice to those affected.

There’s a few very flawed tests here. They sent the black guy into best buy, but no one else for comparison. Best Buy now tries to compete with Amazon by focusing on customer service. Everytime I go in there I have 3 employees asking me if I need help, and im white. Also the test where someone looks at a face and has to choose good or bad, is silly. They’re forcing someone to choose between two arbitrary answers. Life is not black or white. I’m not doubting the discrimination minorities face though.

For Best Buy if you wondering in the store for long time employees they must offer you help . It’s not racism ??? . White people get discriminated too .

I have BA degree in civil engineering and I intend to study master's degree in civil engineering in Canada. which province in Canada is the best for civil engineers to study their master and after that to obtain a job and/or a PNP?

It is not racism but only those who have worked in stores or owned one know best why...

i am native american/irish my best friends were the black basket ball players they defend me anytime.

To be fair every time i go to best buy i get asked by every single employee if i need help, im a 26 yr old white guy. It's just what they're trained to do to help sell their products, it is really annoying though

I swear as someone with brown skin, the Best Buy thing happened to me literally every time I have walked into one. And I have been in several best buys in several cities.

best buy bitches get comption

The best way to deter shoplifting from any suspicious-looking individual is great customer service.

Lol Turkish talk about hate.. What about Armaniyan genocide...Hypocrisy at it's best..

This is wonderful research but here I want to confess to you that all the other continents racialists though at different levels.\nCanada ?? is at least the best but with minimal racial behaviour too.\nWe Must eliminate this racial behaviour as much as we can collectively.\nCheers!

Best Buy is bad about that...and I'm white....it's like every 2 seconds! I know you get paid on commission but leave me alone!

How about 1st - Military, US has the best in the world, Canada... not even close, 2nd - Taxes, Canadians pays LOTS of taxes way more then Americans, 3rd - Terrorism, the US eliminate Terrorist leaders to make themselves and the world a safer place, Canada welcomes Terrorists with open arms putting Canadians and Americans in danger.

Best thumbnail ?

im from canada!!! best place

43:01 This woman said it the best WE ALL MATTER

8:17 BEST BUY Hello people Just before the COVID 19 pandemic struck our Country, in the United States of America. My son and I were shopping at Best Buy. We had more than five or six different people ask if we needed assistance. My Son would say no thanks, and I would ask each one that did ask if I needed help, to help me. That associate would show me where to look, then try real hard to get away from me. This happened at least five to six times. All six times, I said yes. Finally, they stopped asking me and continued to ask my son. The reason my son would say no thanks is because he was just looking. I, on the other hand, had questions about what I wanted to buy. They did a great job answering all of my questions, however, when it came to buying what I wanted to buy most of all of the associates had either left the area or went home, because I could not find anyone when it came down to purchasing the items I wanted, only to find out what I wanted was made in China, They no longer carry the product, in their stores, or online. However, they still had the items on display; however, you just could not buy them. P.S. We are white.

The white guy they used in these test is a lot more socialable looking than I am and I am sure I would get the same treated I am even being white.\nI also worked for best buy and was told to ask people if there was something I could help them with if they look suspicious and standing in one place by a shelf is just one of those things. That is just common practice.
